What if the Second World War had begun early? October 4, 1938. Neville Chamberlain is dead, and Winston Churchill stands at the door of Number 10. The peace bought at Munich will not hold. When Germany strikes, it strikes through Belgium and into France before a shot is fired in Poland, and the war the world believed it had avoided arrives a year early and on different ground. The Unnecessary War opens the European War series, a sweeping alternate history of the Second World War in Europe. As France reels and the British Expeditionary Force fights for survival, soldiers, statesmen, and ordinary families are swept into a conflict whose shape no one foresaw. Churchill must hold an empire together. A continent must decide what it is willing to lose. And a generation discovers that the war they were promised would never come has found them anyway. From the author of the American War series, which reached #1 in Amazon's Alternate History category, The Unnecessary War is the first novel in a parallel saga that will run alongside the Pacific War and beyond. Meticulously researched, intimate in its human detail, and built on a single question that changes everything: what if the war had been fought on different terms? Every great story begins with family.
